| You'll find recipes for a few of my favorite meals in chapter 11.
Drink Half Your Body Weight in Ounces of Water Per Day
The human body is approximately two-thirds water by weight. The average adult has 40 to 50 quarts of water. It is necessary for most all functions in the body, including digestion, absorption, and circulation. Water helps detoxify the kidneys, helps dilute toxins, and is imperative for transporting nutrients in and waste out of our cells.
Seventy-five percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (This likely applies to half the world population. | | Choose from dinner recipes in chapter 11. Take enzymes and oils with meal.

HEALTH MAINTENANCE SUPPLEMENTS AND REMINDERS
Following is an outline of supplements and suggestions to recap the ideas of RENEW and help you maintain your newfound health.
Daily Doses of Support
Following is a list of supplements to consider on a daily basis, depending on your particular circumstances. | David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes See book keywords and concepts | This pairing of herbs is a simple but elegant example of the concept of "synergy" in herbal prescribing (see chapter 11). Each has a mild effect on people with seasonal affective disorder, but the two together are vastly more effective than either one alone.
Gather lemon balm before it flowers, when it has a delightful odor and mild, fragrant lemony taste. If gathered later, it will have a bitter taste. I frequently use lemon balm along with other pleasant-tasting herbs (chamomile, hibiscus, ginger, linden flower, and fennel seed) as "beverage medicines. | Eric R. Braverman See book keywords and concepts | This topic will be more thoroughly covered in chapter 11.
NATURAL BRAIN FUNCTIONS attention
A physiological function of the brain concerns your abilities to learn and remember. Attention deficits are generally thought to be associated mostly with children, but recent developments have led researchers to recognize that attention problems not only continue into the adult years for affected children but also reveal themselves in more of us as we age. Attention decreases can also be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. | Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN See book keywords and concepts | Although levels of lysinoalanine in soy milk are low, there are valid safety concerns (see chapter 11).
Taste is what most concerns the soy industry. As Peter Golbitz, President of Soyatech in Bar Harbor, Maine, puts it, "The challenge for the soy industry has been identifying and inactivating the components primarily responsible for the undesirable beany flavor, aroma and aftertaste in soymilk."17 The guilty party in this case is the enzyme lipoxygenase, which oxidizes the polyunsaturated fatty acids in soy, causing the "beaniness" and rancidity. | Jay Joseph See book keywords and concepts | Although contemporary psychiatric geneticists frequently justify their work on the grounds that finding genes may lead to the development of drugs tailored to fit a person's particular genetic profile ("pharmacogenomics"),7 we will see in chapter 11 that these postulated genes remain undiscovered.

7. Mclnnis & Potash, 2004; Dinwiddie et al., 2004. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | These nutrients are alpha-lipoic acid (discussed in chapter 11); selenium (also discussed in chapter 11); and silymarin, an extract of the herb milk thistle.
In the 1970s and 1980s Berkson used large doses of alpha-lipoic acid to treat Amanita mushroom poisoning, which often precipitates liver failure and death. Alpha-lipoic acid boosts the liver's production of glutathione, which aids the breakdown of Amanita toxins and promotes the synthesis of new liver cells. Similarly, selenium is needed for the liver to make several glutathione peroxidase compounds, all potent antioxidants. | Jay Joseph See book keywords and concepts | Thus, even in the unlikely event that presumed ADHD genes are found in the future (see chapter 11), society might still decide to concentrate on eliminating environmental factors contributing to ADHD-type behavior. In doing so, society's goal will be to aid all children in the same way that anti-smoking campaigns help reduce tobacco use. Is it necessary to identify people at greater genetic risk for nicotine addiction before initiating an anti-smoking campaign? Clearly, it is not.
Heritability
Twin researchers have put the heritability of ADHD at between 0.39 and 0. | Amarjit S. Basra See book keywords and concepts | Chapter 11). Great progress in this area has been achieved through the application of specific and selective analytical methods, using a combination of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and diode-array technique (online recorded ultraviolet [UV] spectra), or mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detection. As far as pharmacological in vitro assays are concerned, aside from enzymatic methods, more and more molecular-biological assays have been integrated into the screening of extracts and isolated compounds.
2. | | The examples discussed in chapter 11 (Baccharis conferta and Artemisia annua) use an ethnopharmacological approach.
Ethnopharmacological approaches may lead to improved primary health care in marginal societies.38 Thus a core task with respect to medicinal plants is to integrate the cultural history of (medicinal) plants and our current bioscientific knowledge of these resources and to use this information for a sustainable development of this exciting part of the interaction between people and plants. | Jay Joseph See book keywords and concepts | Finally, despite concerted worldwide efforts, no genes for ADHD have been found (see chapter 11). An examination of the total weight of evidence in favor of a genetic basis or predisposition for ADHD leads to the conclusion that a role for genetic factors is not supported, and that future research should be directed towards psychosocial causes.
Nevertheless, Faraone and Biederman argued that the genetic theory of ADHD "has consistently made predictions which turn out to be correct. | | I will cover autism molecular genetic research in chapter 11.
Autism Twin Studies
In Chapter 1, we saw that genetic inferences drawn from identical-fraternal comparisons are confounded by the greater environmental similarity of identical versus fraternal twins. This position requires some clarification regarding autism, which is diagnosed at an early age and for which unequal social or psychological environments might not be a factor influencing concordance rates. | | And as we will see in chapter 11, researchers have thus far failed, after more than three decades of research, to identify the genes they believe predispose people to bipolar disorder.
Because no neuropathological abnormalities have been discovered,3 bipolar disorder is diagnosed, like most psychiatric disorders, on the basis of clinical observation. | Michael T. Murray See book keywords and concepts | Chapter 11, pages 245-246, for dosage recommendations).
Supplementation Program for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
Th e recommended supplementation program depends on the degree of blood sugar control as evident by self-monitored blood glucose and AjC levels.
Initial Supplementation Programs
Level 1—Achievement of targeted blood sugar levels; AjC below 7 percent, no lipid abnormalities, no signs of complications ?Foundation supplements: ţHigh-potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement?follow dosage recommendations on page 327. ţGreen drink—one serving daily ţFish oils? | Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN See book keywords and concepts | SOURCE: Letter from Elaine Messa, Director of the FDA's District Office, Irvine, CA, to Patricia Bragg, President, Live Food Products, May 29, 1996. See chapter 11 for a discussion of the dangers of hydrolyzed proteins.
MY SOY STORY: WIPED OUT
I am very sensitive to MSG so I always avoid foods that have it on the label. Since I avoid red meat, I am concerned about getting enough protein. One day I bought some Bragg's Amino Acids and added it to some soup that I had made—the label said "No MSG" so I thought it would be OK. | Eric R. Braverman See book keywords and concepts | This topic will be more thoroughly covered in chapter 11, but you should be aware of the four distinct types of memory, each ruled by one of the major neurotransmitters.
Working memory involves the ability to absorb information or stimuli and retain it for ongoing processing. It involves bringing together old and current data, and if the brain is overloaded with the latter, it will dump older memories. Working memory is affected by the frontal lobes and the biochemical dopamine. | Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN See book keywords and concepts | Regarding the possible dangers of hydrolyzates (see chapter 11), the company is mum.
SOY ICE CREAM: THE BIG FREEZE
Soy ice creams have fared slightly better than soy cheeses. Indeed, Peter Golbitz of Soyatech credits Tofutti, the first commercially successful soy ice cream substitute, as having "proved to Americans that a soybean-based food product could actually taste good."34 Calling the product "Tofutti," however, is a bit of a stretch. Indeed in the 1980s, muckraking reporters exposed the product as containing no tofu whatsoever. | | The chemical process that breaks down the soybean's protein structure into free amino acids also releases the excitotoxins glutamate and aspartate (see chapter 11). Yet HVP or HSP are often included in products labeled with words like "all natural." Because of recent lawsuits, fewer companies dare use the words "No MSG."
AGENT ORANGE
Soy protein shows up in many food products, but who would suspect that manufacturers might add it to orange juice? | | Glutathione (gamma-glutamyl cysteinyl-glycine) protects cells by detoxifying harmful compounds such as hydrogen peroxide, free radicals and carcinogens, including the nitrosamines in modern soy products (see chapter 11).
Glutathione is partly responsible for keeping LDL-cholesterol from oxidizing and clogging arteries. Though soy has a reputation for reducing cholesterol, rats fed soy protein that was not fortified with methionine showed an increased total cholesterol and an increased susceptibility of LDL-cholesterol to peroxidation. | | See chapter 11.)
The manufacture of SPI has always been a complicated, hightech procedure. There's nothing natural about it—it takes place in chemical factories, not kitchens. Although the manufacturing process varies and some companies hold patents on key elements of the process, the basic procedure begins with defatted soybean meal, which is mixed with a caustic alkaline solution to remove the fiber, then washed in an acid solution to precipitate out the protein. The protein curds are then dipped into yet another alkaline solution and spray dried at extremely high temperatures. | Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe See book keywords and concepts | Underwater Swimming
For all the reasons discussed in chapter 11, underwater swimming is just as stimulating to the brains of children as it is to those of adults. It's never too early to start. Dr. Frederick LeBoyer, for example, advocates underwater immersion of babies from birth!27 A skilled swimming instructor can teach your baby to swim in the first days, weeks, or months. Play underwater fetching games with your toddler. From the time your child is old enough to understand, emphasize to him the benefits of swimming underwater and increasing the time during which he can hold his breath. | Michele Simon See book keywords and concepts | For more on this tactic and ways to respond to it, see chapter 11.)
They're Not Holding a Gun to Your Head (but Almost)
An overarching theme of industry's personal responsibility argument goes something like this: "Food companies aren't holding a gun to anyone's head." Technically, this is of course true, but the rhetoric rings hollow upon closer inspection. Brandishing a firearm isn't the only way to get someone to behave in a way that goes against her own best interests. | Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek See book keywords and concepts | Part IV considers some of the many implications of universal living memory for science, society, and each of us.
In chapter 11, called "The Living Energy Universe," we consider implications for twenty-first-century science, including physics, chemistry, biology, and psychology, as well as education, business, healthcare, spirituality, and more. | | As we did in chapter 11, let's consider the possibility that the systemic memory process is real, and that it applies to all systems, at all levels. Some of the most controversial questions of our times are addressed below.
If There Are Levels to Systems,
Does This Imply That There Are Levels to Life?
Yes and no.
As you can see below, it is possible to organize the entire universe in terms of "nested" levels of systems, from the micro to the macro. Nested means that one level is inside another level. We have identified eleven levels, but you could create fewer or more. | Jay Joseph See book keywords and concepts | I will focus on the two research methods most often cited in support of the genetic basis of ADHD: twin studies and adoption studies. In chapter 11,1 examine ADHD molecular genetic research, which thus far has failed to uncover genes predisposing to ADHD.
In the opinion of Russell Barkley, a leader in the field, ADHD is a "developmental failure in the brain circuitry that underlies inhibition and self-control."1 Barkley cited studies claiming to show that a portion of ADHD children's brains are smaller than those of "normal" children, and he linked that to genetic factors. | Michael T. Murray See book keywords and concepts | In Chapter 9, we provide additional recommendations to greatly reduce appetite and improve glucose control with natural products, while in chapter 11 we give recommendations for supplements to deal with the major complications of diabetes.
From Our Patient Files ck was a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy. He loved to fly-fish, watch football, and drink beer with his buddies. He had also smoked since he was 14 and enjoyed a good cigar two or three times per week. The problem was that Rick was now so heavy that he couldn't walk to his favorite fly-fishing holes without ending up exhausted. | Dr. Timothy Scott See book keywords and concepts | Enron was America's seventh largest corporation one year before it suddenly began to collapse and had to file chapter 11 bankruptcy. The mammoth $77 billion company began 2001 with its stock price at over $80 a share. By October the price was under $40. But even then, 16 out of 17 stock analysts covering Enron had "buy" or "strong buy" recommendations on the stock.4 Four months later its stock was worth only pennies. | Michael T. Murray See book keywords and concepts | Since flavonoids are so important to the prevention of the complications of diabetes, we also encourage supplementing your diet with flavonoid-rich extracts (discussed in chapter 11, pages 249-251).
A general rule of thumb is that one serving equals one medium fruit or Vi cup of small cut-up fruit, 4 oz. of 100 percent juice, or lA cup dried fruit.
Good Oils (Nuts, Seeds, and Oils)? Servings Daily
These foods provide the beneficial oils, especially the monounsaturated fats, and regular nut consumption has been shown to improve blood sugar regulation. Focus on raw nuts and seeds. |
